Prayer in Discord is a work of spiritual transformation and psychological drama. Each dancer’s movement is an expression of and a reaction to a human dilemma, such as the need for identity, reason for existence, and questioning one's final destination through prayer. The absence of harmony reflects an emotional yearning that the ballet resolves through myth, ritual, symbolism, and direct experience.
